The correct answer is with energy or force.
The Middle English - Early 19th Century English definition of the word hardly fits the excerpt above best. The author is trying to say that the character's heart beat so fast and in such a powerful manner that he could almost feel the beat and vibrations even outside the body.

Answer:

With energy or force

Explanation:

One is able to see that hardly in this context means with a lot of energy because the other word describing the beat was rapidly.

Daniel [21]

Even though there aren't any underlined words, you can still clearly see that the pronoun used is third person. This is because The narrator is talking about Mr. Phillips, and is not using pronouns like "I" and "we", which would be first person, or "you" and "you're", which would be second person.

In what way is Montresor an unreliable narrator? How does the use of an unreliable narrator influence readers’ views of Montreso
kakasveta [241]
<span>Montresor, like most of Poe's protagonists, are mentally disturbed and hence unreliable narrators. We are not really sure what wrong Fortunato has done to him but he has obsessed about his revenge. Montresor has let his staff off for the festival so that he can have Fortunato alone. Montresor has left masonry or stonework equipment in the catacombs. He knows just how to tempt Fortunato into following him. Montresor gives some vague detail on how Fortunato has to pay (for his insults) and since he hasn't tried to make things right, he (Montresor) will have to now take matters into his own hands and punish Fortunato himself. Motressor clearly has manic tendencies and delusions of grandeur.</span>
